Tough One... But I did manage to find where they went; it seems you need to be a member, for additional information. As a registered user of PPA International, you should be able to request a link for the driver. Give it a try, register for the newsgroup e-mail and then use the 'contact us' feature to request the location and or link to the archived driver, it never hurts to ask..

Product Summary

4-pin to 4-pin IEEE 1394 iLink FireWire Cable dv out to laptop Connect and transfer home movie from your digital camcorder to Notebook computer.

You will need a Firewire port on your computer, also known as a DV port or IEEE 1394, to use this cable. This is NOT a USB cable.

This DV cable will connect your laptop (notebook)
NOTE: for some models, becuase of no DV jack on the body, this cable connects to docking station/cradle instead of connecting directly to your camcorder.

On page 230 of the user manual, it describes how to transfer movies from the camera to a computer using an i.Link (IEEE 1394) cable. You will need the 4 pin i.Link cable and an IEEE 1394 connector on your computer in order to do this. You cannot use the USB cable to transfer the video from this camcorder -- you can only transfer still images using the USB cable.
You will have to buy this i.Link cable and (if you don't have a IEEE 1394 port on your computer) a IEEE 1394 adapter card for you desktop computer. If your laptop computer doesn't have a IEEE 1394 adapter, then you're pretty much out of luck.
Once you have the i.Link and 1394 issues resolved, then Movie Maker should then recognize the camera.

Looking in the net I found someone running an E8500 on this board so I guess an E8400 will work fine.

Try googling IEEE 1394 and accessing the Wikipedia site. It shows a picture of both. The 6 pin is decidedly larger and of a different shape.

Yes, the brandnames Firewire (Apple) and iLink (Sony) are both IEEE 1394 interfaces.
Your cam should require a 4-pin to a 6-pin, both IEEE 1394. Hope this helps.

Pinouts:

USB board is slikscreened with numbers but for reference
pin 1 ground is at top edge of board
and pin 5 plus 5v is towards gold connector edge

1. case Gnd (thick black)

2. D- (green)

3. D+ (white)

4. no connection

5. +5v (red)


----------------------------------------------------------------

Firewire: (8 pin header on board)
this board uses the 4pin firewire connection standard
NOT THE 6/9 PIN!!!! you only need to connect 4 pins
and if you have a thick case ground cable you can use it

board is slikscreened with numbers but for reference
pin 7 is towards bracket towards top edge of card
pin 8 is towards bracked towards gold edge connector

6 TPB+ Blue

7 TPA- Red

8 TPB+ Green

3 Case Gnd Thick Black (not thin black) if you have one

(white 30vdc) and (thin black, signal Gnd)
wires are not used

pins 1 and 2 are also unused for firewire connections
please note that this card has +12v on pin 2 instead of the
30v dc that a normal firewire 6 pin connection has

Although this post is rather old, I can tell you that the mini 4-pin firewire port is the bane of my existence. The 6-pin port is made rather sturdy with heavily shielded cable. The 4-pin uses the same heavy cable, but does not have the strength to support the cable, if it happens to droop. This causes pins to get slightly bent out of alignment, and upon re-insertion, you can get crushed pins if you are not VERY careful. Examine both your cable end and the port on your camera/deck - you will probably find one or more of the pins have been pushed back. Pray that it's the cable that's dead, and not the port in your camera/deck. I have a Canon XL1 and a Sony DSR-40 with the same problem - crushed pin in the unit's port. I'll have to spend $$$ to get these ports replaced.

Are you using the USB cable that came with the camcorder? If so, then don't use it, because it doesn't work for loading from mini DV tapes to other devices. Instead, buy a IEEE 1394 "FireWire" cable (whether 4/6/ pin, whatever you need)in order to pass the videos from the camara to the computer. note: DO NOT buy a cable that has a USB on one side and a IEEE 1394 on the other side, thus it doesn't work. You must buy a cable that has both IEEE 1394 ports on both sides.
